Case study · Furniture, Interiors & Project Cargo

Oversized furniture rerouted through a second country to find the aircraft

Three crates of furniture, 235cm tall, unstackable, fragile and tilt sensitive, with a hard delivery deadline and no direct freighter route out of Kuala Lumpur. The easy answer was that it could not be done from Malaysia. That answer is usually a search that stopped at the nearest airport.

Oversized crated furniture prepared for freighter loading3 crates · 235cm tall

Route: Port Klang, Malaysia → Miami, USA

The constraint

  • Cargo stood 235cm tall, too tall for standard freighter loading
  • No direct freighter route existed from Kuala Lumpur to Miami
  • Cargo was unstackable, fragile and tilt sensitive, with a hard delivery deadline

What we did

  • Identified a viable direct 747 freighter route from Singapore to Miami
  • Arranged cross-border trucking from Port Klang to Singapore to reach it
  • Secured space on the direct Singapore to Miami freighter service

Result: On time delivery at a lower cost than the alternatives, achieved by looking one country over for the right aircraft.

Who else this applies to
Furniture and interior brands, and anyone with oversized or fragile cargo whose nearest airport does not have the right aircraft for the job.
